My method: I offer skills-based, assertive, compassionate handling for dogs of all temperaments and use positive reinforcement only. I prioritize animal consent, bodily autonomy, and healthy relationship over walking distance or human “control”, only employing force-free methods in my interactions. I do not employ punitive corrections or tools like prong or shock collars. Training experience: I am former WI resident and dog mom to an AKC Good Canine Citizen pitbull (now passed) and got my start training with the Brew City Bully Club (now Pitbull Advocates of America), a 501(c)(3) providing advocacy and owner/handler training based in Milwaukee, WI. I also underwent training through the Dog Den Madison, WI including classes for aggressive and reactive pups. Later, I volunteered at the Dane County Humane Society. In Seattle, my experience has been refined based on my clientele’s pups who tend towards the more submissive/fearful side of the coin. I have a penchant for rescues and seniors, plus experience providing care for cats of all ages and temperaments, chickens, chinchillas, and fish. Currently renewing American Red Cross Pet First Aid/CPR certification. Please spay and neuter your pets!
